I wonder if authors were more responsive in the days of actual "writing letters" because people took the time to do it. There is an impression today (because I don't have any experience or facts, but I hear people talking about this) that email has "opened the floodgates" to a certain extent, and it has made authors and other less communicative.... Then again, I have had good experiences with similar people responding via email.... But I digress.
